Cruising with Jen description on YouTube:

Hey there! I'm Jennifer, your new cruise bestie! Cruising is my favorite way to travel, and ever since I discovered Virgin Voyages, it's been nearly impossible to go back to any other cruise line (although, I do!) I love sharing my travels and tips and tricks with the world, so if that is something you are into - be sure to check in weekly for new videos! Need ideas of where to travel next? Or want to get started on a booking and see what I can offer you? I would love to chat! Visit the links below or shoot me an email. To plan your next voyage, visit me at www.cruisingwithjen.com

The Norwegian Gem is one of those vessels that does not always grab the flashiest headlines, but it has a reputation for delivering a relaxed freestyle holiday that suits just about every kind of cruiser.

It was 9 days, eight nights, and that always includes a pre cruise hotel stay, which American Cruise Lines includes in the cruise fair automatically.
